• Abstract: Traffic sign detection is a fundamental component of environmental perception in autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems. However, most existing detectors rely on static inference with globally shared parameters, limiting their ability to adapt to diverse and unstructured traffic scenarios. As a result, a single static model often struggles to simultaneously handle both clear near-range samples and challenging conditions such as distant small targets or adverse weather environments. To address this limitation, we propose CBDES MoE TSR, a hierarchically decoupled heterogeneous mixture-of-experts(MoE) framework for traffic sign recognition. The proposed framework departs from the conventional globally shared parameter paradigm by introducing a heterogeneous You Only Look Once (YOLO) expert pool together with a lightweight gating network, enabling an image-level dynamic routing mechanism. Based on the semantic characteristics of the input image, the gating module selectively activates the most suitable expert model from the expert pool, enabling a shift from fixed parameter fitting to on-demand dynamic representation. This design enhances feature extraction capability for specific scenarios while maintaining controlled inference overhead. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a remarkable balance between detection accuracy and efficiency on the composite traffic sign dataset. Specifically, our method attains an mAP50-95 of 76.8%, yielding a 2.3% improvement over the baseline method (74.5%) while simultaneously reducing computational overhead by approximately 39.4%. These findings robustly validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
